Off the line, the 911 Carrera GTS Cabriolet hits 100 km/h in 3.70 s versus 5.83 s for the Panamera. At this point, the 911 Carrera GTS Cabriolet leads by 2.14 s and sits roughly 14 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the 911 Carrera GTS Cabriolet is doing 164 km/h against 130 km/h for the Panamera. The gap is 1.62 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the 911 Carrera GTS Cabriolet crosses the line in 11.52 s versus 14.15 s. The 2.62 s gap represents roughly 112 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the 911 Carrera GTS Cabriolet continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 227 km/h versus 181 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 911 Carrera GTS Cabriolet finishes in 20.74 s versus 25.76 s, with a 5.02 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the 911 Carrera GTS Cabriolet is capped at 309 km/h, the Panamera at 257 km/h. This isn’t a physical engine limit - it’s a manufacturer choice, usually for tyre safety or homologation reasons. Neither car reaches its true aerodynamic top speed.
With two combustion powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (3.17 kg/hp vs 5.79 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 9.21 seconds. The 2.14 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
